Re: Bones work in frame 0 but nowhere else

That'll work.
I'm going to watch some more tutorials to make sure I can't figure this out on my own.
If I'm still stuck, I'll upload the file.

Thanks.

Re: Bones work in frame 0 but nowhere else

:D I Spoke too soon. That one arm also has a mesh that I'm trying to create a smart bone for. Following several tutorials but my action isn't doing what's in the tutorials. I can work around this problem (the shoulder joint out of place when I rotate the arm) but I'd rather know how to work the mesh...

Re: Bones work in frame 0 but nowhere else

Sure. Is there a place in this forum to upload files? Haven't seen anything. UPDATE: OK. Just noticed that somehow the one arm that I added a mesh to lost it's layer binding. I re did the binding and now everything's working. Total mystery as to why that would stop all the other bones from working. ...

Bones work in frame 0 but nowhere else

I've been trying to learn Moho for quite a while. There always seems to be some new thing that happens, seemingly at random. Here's my latest confusion: I have an image with arms and body on different layers. I created bones for the body and arms binding the arms to their respective layers. The mani...

Re: How to distinguish between points in Mesh animation?

Do you know of any tutorials that tell you all about Groups and Shapes?
I'm still trying to figure those out.

Re: How to distinguish between points in Mesh animation?

Just realized there are no points in an image file.

The only way to get points is to make a mesh.

Re: How to distinguish between points in Mesh animation?

Ah! That sounds so much simpler.

I'll give it a try asap. Still love the idea about the mesh. Must be some good uses for it. Just gets a bit complex.

Thanks.

How to distinguish between points in Mesh animation?

Yikes. I've been at this for 2 days. I just started to find out how to use the Mesh option to animate a graphic. I've got a baby who's moving his backside to the music. He's standing with his back to us. So I get the left side to move left and right at the correct rhythm. Then I try to move the righ...

Re: Need advice on which software to use

Yeah.
My computer is 13 years old. It's still serving me well. got 9 hardrives running on it.
But lately more and more plugins and updates aren't working for me.

I'll have to bite the bullet one day.

Thanks.

Yeah. Walk cycles are still something to learn. I like the South Park way, though. (joke)
Haven't seen that comic. I'll check it out. But I bet his hat doesn't have a Brooklyn accent.

Re: Need advice on which software to use

Here are a couple of short episodes of a series called, "Hat." It's about a man having conversations with his hat. Takes place in Paris. I did it a few years ago. Very happy with the way it turned out. I also did the music and voices. Very simple animation but it'll give you an idea of my ...

Re: Need advice on which software to use

one approach I use for audio sync especially if it's a long track / multiple tracks that will entail multiple moho files is: load the audio into moho and create a switch layer with vectors for each planned shot -- the vectors might have a "clapperboard" which shows which shot I want and t...

Re: Need advice on which software to use

Thanks. Means a lot. That was one of my more adventurous animations. I think for the most part it worked. But, of course, the message/music was the main thing there. This next project could take a year to finish. It's from a musical I wrote 25 years ago called, "Meat Street." it was perfor...

Re: Need advice on which software to use

We all start somewhere and tbh, if you're seriously thinking about doing one hour of animation as a first project, the software choice will be the least of your problems :D I really don't mean to discourage you or anything but i think many here would agree, that you are setting yourself up for disa...
